About
The Anchor Stone Café sits proudly on the banks of the River Dart in the picturesque village of Dittisham, offering diners a tranquil riverside experience. Since its humble beginnings as a tea room, the café has evolved into a celebrated destination for fresh seafood, locally sourced produce, and an extensive wine list. Guests can dine inside a warm, inviting restaurant or step outside onto the spacious terrace to soak up panoramic views of the Dart against the backdrop of the South Hams countryside. The menu features a rotating specials board that highlights dishes such as crab, lobster, mussels, scallops, and salmon, complemented by hearty salads and artisan breads. The café is family‑friendly, offering highchairs and outdoor seating, while vegetarian and vegan options are readily available.
